The Oceanic Paradise of Dantopia is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by President Evelyn Armstrong with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8.874 billion Dantopians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lion City. The average income tax rate is 55.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dantopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,160 trillion credits a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 130,772 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, only the richest get to see out of their windows, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and bungee jumpers rarely go splat. Crime is totally unknown. Dantopia's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dantopia is ranked 312,789^th in the world and 3,842^nd in the South Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 21.89 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
